El Segundo started as a rancho, and received its name – “The Second” – for being the site to the second oil refinery in the West Coast. Today, with almost 17,000 residents, El Segundo is known as the “Mayberry” of beach towns and considered one of the Top 15 small cities in California. With a friendly, small-town charm and an ever-growing community of diverse businesses, El Segundo is a thriving coastal community and 5.5 square mile economic powerhouse.
